Depth of Penetration and Antimicrobial Activity of 5% and 10% Bamboo Salt, 2% Chlorhexidine Gel and Calcium Hydroxide Against Enterococcus faecalis - An In Vitro Study.
Article in European endodontic journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveE. faecalis is one of the most commonly found species in persistent and secondary infections associated with endodontic failure. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the depth of penetration and antimicrobial efficacy of 5% and 10% bamboo salt (BS), 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX) and calcium hydroxide (CH) against E. faecalis.
methodsE. faecalis was inoculated in dentine blocks for 21 days following which the antibacterial efficacy of the experimental medicaments were quantatively assessed by harvesting the dentinal debris from depths of 200 µm and 400 µm from the block lumen on the 2nd and 7th day. The depth of penetration of the medicaments was measured using LIVE/DEAD BacLight stain under CLSM.
resultsResults showed that the medicaments had varying degrees of antimicrobial efficacy and depth of penetration. Among the medicaments, CHX showed the highest antimicrobial activity on both the time intervals (P<0.05), followed by 10% BS, 5% BS and the least efficacy was observed in CH group. CHX and 10% BS exhibited the highest depth of penetration, which was proximate to the penetration of E. faecalis.
conclusionIt can be concluded that 10% bamboo salt can serve as a viable natural antimicrobial in endodontic therapy.
